Trolls 5

She's gone

Poppy's POV:
I slowly open my eyes, the sun coming in from the window hurting them slightly. I stretch out my arms and let out a yawn. I look over at Branch to see him still asleep. He's so cute when he's asleep, I think to myself. I reach out my hand to gently hold his, but as I do this, I feel him slightly stirring awake. I see his beautiful blue eyes look into my magenta ones.

"Morning, Branch."

"Good morning, Poppy."

"So, what do you wanna do today?"

"Honestly, just stay here with you all day."

"Works for me."

Branch wraps his arm around my waist, pulling me closer.

"Wait, what time is it?"

"Uh, it's 8, why?"

"Oh my glitter, I have to go! I promised I would help Satin and Chenille come up with a color scheme for the next party!"

I quickly jump out of bed, my mind panicking.

"I'm so sorry, Branch. I promise you, tonight, I'm all yours."

I give him a quick kiss before running to the lift, worrying that I'm late.

I run to Satin and Chenille's pod, barely able to breathe.

After what seems like forever, I finally make it to their pod. I quickly fix my hair so I look more presentable. I knock on the door, and I'm instantly greeted with two pairs of hands pulling me into their pod.

"Oh, Poppy! Thank glitter you're here! We really need your opinion on what colors we should use for the next party!" Chenille says.

"Ok, what are my options?"

They start showing me a hundred different colors, and I wish I was still cuddling with Branch.

After about 3 and 1/2 hours of going over colors, I'm finally done with them. I'm walking back to my pod when Viva comes running at me.

"Poppy! I need your help!"

"What's wrong? Is it time?"

"What, no! I need your help setting up the baby's nursery."

"I thought Clay was going to help you."

"He was, but the boys took him for a "boys day" whatever that means."

"Ok, I'll help."

"Yay! This is gonna be so fantastamazing!"

Viva grabs my hand before running to her pod.

How does she still have so much energy when she's less than 2 weeks away from having a baby? I think to myself.

"Ok, so I was thinking we could make the walls a neutral color, since we won't know the gender until the baby's born, what do you think?"

"I agree."

Viva keeps going on and on about random baby stuff, but I just agree with everything she says, because at this point, I'm over everything.

After spending hours painting, assembling furniture, and putting the furniture down in the right spot, Viva finally says I can go.

I walk to my pod, hoping to relax for a few hours before going to see Branch.

When I walk in my door, I see about ten huge stacks of paperwork I need to sign. I sigh, knowing this is going to take a while.

A few long, long hours later...
About 4 hours later, I'm finally done with everything. I realize how late it is.
